Once again, I turned to my Low Carb Cookbook (see side panel), and I found a low-carb refreshment, suitable for even those low-carb skeptics, at least for the 21 and older crowd. :)Bellini Spritzers...carb rating 8
yields 9, 1 cup servings
- 2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled and halved
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Champagne, chilled
- 2 cups sparkling mineral water, chilled
- Place Peaches in a food processor; process until smooth
- Combine puree, Champagne, and mineral water in a large pitcher, stir gently. Pour into chilled glasses. Serve immediately.
Substitutions:
4 cups frozen sliced peaches, thawed, if fresh peaches are not in season.
Reduce carb count by 1 when you substitute Champagne for 3 cups diet lemon-lime carbonated beverage, such as Diet 7-up, or Diet Sprite
Presentation:
Peach wedge on glass rim
Try blending with ice for thick consistency...try topping with real whip cream (no carbs!)??
Open to suggestions...enjoy, and as always, drink responsibly. (Especially if your low-carb diet is revealing a confident, sassy new you!)

Wow this sounds yummy. If peaches were in season for new years this would make a yummy drink.
use frozen peaches as a substitution. :)
Yeah, but then you don't have the cute peach slice to add to the rim of the glass.
